Since the advent of railways, there have been occasional off-road casualties, and there have been casualties among people crossing railways or walking along railway lines and being hit and run over by running trains, which is relatively common on unclosed railway lines.

The railway construction in the old area of Yimeng was relatively late, and the design speed was low at that time, but with the opening of the double line in 2002, the speed increased, and the off-road casualties increased.

One evening after the year, after handing over the eighteen-o'clock shift, Zhuge Huaizhi had just eaten two bites of food in the cafeteria, and heard Xiao Wang, the assistant on the walkie-talkie, shouting him very anxiously with the shunting channel: "Is the stationmaster Zhuge here?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"The 20209 driver reported hitting a person in the interval, please hurry up and deal with it!

"I'll be there soon!" Throwing down the unfinished meal, Zhuge Huaizhi hurried to the driving room to understand the situation, it turned out that ten minutes ago, the driver of 20209 was about three kilometers away from the Red Cross Station, and found that someone was rushing to the road, and after the emergency brake, the person was still hit and flew under the roadbed!

The driver stopped to check, a male, no longer had vital signs, the driver made a radio report to the nearest Red Cross station according to the regulations, continued to drive forward, and the follow-up matters were handed over to the station to deal with.

Zhuge Huaizhi immediately took the signal light and walkie-talkie, and rushed to the scene with Wang Qi, the public security officer stationed at the station, for preliminary processing, and the two of them walked along the shoulder of the line for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at the scene of the accident.

It was slowly getting dark, and under the light of the flashlight, I saw a boy about twenty years old, thin and weak, basically neatly dressed, lying on his back on his back with two feet under the roadbed, and there was a big hole in the middle of his head, and the blood had coagulated, and he had long since died.

After inspecting the scene, it was found that not far from here, a pair of men's cotton shoes were neatly placed under the roadbed, and after Wang Qi, the public security officer stationed at the station, took pictures and drew pictures, checked that the deceased did not have any documents on his body, nor did he have a mobile phone.

Judging from the various signs at the scene and the situation reported by the driver, the cotton shoes were not placed by the driver, so this should have been placed by the deceased himself, which made Zhuge Huaizhi have a big question, is it suicide? If it was accidentally hit, the shoes should have flown out, how could they be placed neatly?

Sure enough, Wang Qi of the public security also made this judgment, "Zhuge Stationmaster, this guy seems to have committed suicide, it is estimated that he is a person from this neighborhood, now you are watching here, I will go to the nearby village to find out if there is anyone you know?"

"Oh, this ......" Zhuge Huaizhi is usually very bold, but now it is dark, the north wind is blowing, like a wail, he is guarding a corpse in this wilderness, and he shuddes a little when he thinks about it!!

But now there is no one else, if he is not here to look at the corpse, if he is eaten by wild dogs, or if there are other unimaginable problems, it will be difficult to explain to the family, not to mention that this child is still so young, it is pitiful to think about it!

"Zhuge Stationmaster, I'm going to go for about two hours, if I can't find the family, when I come back, we'll send him to the funeral home together. ”

"Okay, you go and come back quickly, I'm watching here, not going anywhere!" Zhuge Huaizhi made up his mind, he was almost forty years old, what did it look like to be so timid!

Xiao Wang went to the nearby village with a flashlight, Zhuge Huaizhi stood on the shoulder of the road, looking at the dead young man under the roadbed by the faint moonlight in the sky, surrounded by a dark field, a gust of wind blew, as if someone was whimpering in a low voice.

Zhuge Huaizhi felt a tingling in his scalp, he tuned the channel of the walkie-talkie to the train channel, and there was a continuous sound of the driver and the station jointly controlling it, which slightly alleviated his fear, every once in a while, a train passed by, and the headlights of the locomotive illuminated the young man's pale face, which made people unbearable to look at directly.

At nine o'clock in the evening, I finally saw a group of people coming over with flashlights in the distance, it turned out that the public security Xiao Wang had found the family of the deceased, Zhuge Huaizhi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that these two hours were longer than two centuries.

The family cried for a while, someone called, looking for the funeral home, soon, the funeral home's car came, the body was carried away, Zhuge Huaizhi left the address and phone number for the family, and asked them to go to the off-road casualty handling office of the safety section of the train depot the day after tomorrow to deal with the follow-up matters, and then return to the station.

On the way back, he kept thinking about what made this young man give up his life easily, he was still so young, it can be said that life had just begun, and he used this very cruel means of suicide, which required a lot of courage and determination, and he couldn't figure it out.

The answer was finally revealed on the afternoon of the third day, and after dinner that day, Zhuge Huaizhi chatted with Xiao Wang, the public security officer stationed at the station, about the accident a few days ago, "Police Wang, did that young man commit suicide?"

"It was indeed a suicide, and he was seen sitting by the railroad for more than an hour, walking around barefoot, seemingly hesitating. ”

"Then why did you commit suicide?" Zhuge Huaizhi thought about it, and his heart was still panicked.

"It's a long story, because his mother has epilepsy, that is, epilepsy, and when he was young, his family was poor, so he didn't treat it well, and later got married and gave birth to two sons, and it was this younger son who committed suicide!"

Wang Qi also sighed: "His mother died not long after giving birth to him, this disease has a certain hereditary nature, he was very young and had seizures, his brother did not, his father lived alone with two children is relatively poor, if there is no government help, he may not even be able to eat, this disease has recurred repeatedly, he has not studied well, and he can't find a job, who can hire a patient who can get sick at any time?"

"Then it's not like committing suicide, now that our country has a lot of poverty alleviation policies, people like him will definitely focus on taking care of it!" Zhuge Huaizhi really felt sorry for him.

"Yes, but according to his father, he was sensible earlier and had a lot of thoughts, and often said that his illness had dragged down his father and brother to live a good life, and maybe he had plans to commit suicide at that time. ”

"Well, that can't be so extreme!"

"Yes, his father and brother were very kind to him, but it was really sad to say. Wang Qi sighed for a while.

Zhuge Huaizhi remembered He Rulan's sister He Ruxue who sacrificed her young life because of a car accident in the mountains for free clinic, although it is regrettable, but it is also admirable, and although the courage of this young man's death is commendable, it is not worth it, every time I think of this, it will inevitably make people shake their heads and sigh.

In a few months, Xiaonan will take the college entrance examination, this child is sensible and hardworking, he wants to be a good doctor like his mother, and wants to be admitted to medical school.

Zhuge Huaizhi sometimes really admires He Rulan, since he became the teaching director of the primary school, his work is much busier than before, and he has to take care of Haoran and Xiaonan, it is really hard, his work is inseparable, sometimes he stays on the station for more than ten days, and he can't help her, it's really guilty to think about it.

Zhuge Huaizhi listened to the rumbling sound of the constantly passing trains, thinking that he was just one of the thousands of railway people, I don't know how many people are like him, giving up their small families to protect everyone, and those who give more compared to what they have done?

It was late at night, Zhuge Huaizhi had to get up at zero o'clock to monitor the construction, set the alarm clock, he quickly leaned on the quilt and closed his eyes, he could squint for a while, and soon fell asleep!
